Pricing
No calculated bill. Reported spend describes other buyers, not a quote for your workload. How to read these estimates.
No public price; sold through annual contracts. Reported typical spend: $85,135/yr (source in notes).
Annual credit subscriptions. The credit rate card lists burn rates (continuous log ingest 25 credits/GB, frequent 12, infrequent 5; metrics 10 credits per 1,000 DPM) with regional uplifts (+20% Frankfurt, +10% Dublin), but the per-credit dollar price shown is inconsistent and minimum purchases apply, so no per-GB figure is derived. Typical figure is Vendr's median ($85,135/yr across 181 purchases, vendr.com/marketplace/sumo-logic, Oct 2026). EU deployments in Dublin and Frankfurt. Owned by Francisco Partners since 2023.

“Of course, we didn't try to negotiate, but it looks more expensive than Sumo. At one company we were spending around $600k a year on it, and it looks like you would cost closer to 1m.”
